Arshidat, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Arab Lawyers
Union and former President of the
Lawyers’ Syndicate, claims that Khan visited
Israel and made statements supportive of the war crimes committed by the
Israeli occupation forces, reported Jo24.
He added that the documents being prepared for court
members, as well as evidence and documents incriminating the prosecutor are
being collected. He clarified that the prosecutor must respond before a
decision is made regarding his position.
Furthermore, if the prosecutor is not permanently removed, a
request will be made to isolate him from this case. The union is currently
gathering all the evidence that will contribute to the prosecutor’s removal, in
cooperation with foreign lawyers.
Arshidat emphasized that the union and other organizations
are seeking to bring charges against the Israeli leaders for committing war
crimes against Palestinians, including genocide, forced displacement and crimes
against humanity.
